Hi, author here. This project might not really help people that just get to know Chinese characters. Quite on the contrary, it aims to help typographic designers who can design a small subset of characters(like 2k out of 40k), then automatically, if the model works well, get the rest of it.

hey awesome work! in row 8, leftmost column, we see the "food" radical being laid out using different radical conventions on the ground truth versus the generated (IIRC, the lhs is simplified and the rhs is traditional?). Elsewhere we see the "thread" radical being rendered in simplified vs chinese traditional (but not japanese shinjitai). Have you done any deeper examination of the activation network to see if there's any sort of correspondence for some of these characters?

The source font I am using might have not 100% consistent with some of the target font, that leads to minor mode collapse. I think that is the reason here.

it would be cool if there was an activation that consistently flipped between traditional and simplified!
